"I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances" Phil 4:11
Paul, while being denied every comfort, wrote the above words from a dark prison cell.
A story is told of a king who went to his garden one morning, only to find everything withered and dying. He asked the oak tree that stood near the gate what the trouble was. The oak said it was tired of life and determined to die because it was not tall and beautiful like the pine tree. The pine was troubled because it could not bear grapes like the grapevine. The grape vine was determined to throw its life away because it could not stand tall and produce fruit as large as peaches. The geranium was fretting because it was not fragrant like the lilac. and so it went throughout the garden. Yet coming to the violet, the king found its face bright and happy as ever and said "well, i'm glad to find one brave little flower in the midst of this discouragement. You don't seem to be the least bit disheartened."
The violet responded :
"No, im not. I know i'm small, yet i thought if you wanted an oak or pine or peach tree or even a lilac, you would have planted one. Since I knew you wanted a violet, im determined to be the best one i can be."
whoever we are, wherever we are placed, we can be more than conquerors through Him who loves us (:
